There are so many ways Barack Obama has already changed this country, and all for the better:
- As the number of black Georgians registered to vote has increased, so have the chances of a Democratic victory in the coming election, Republican and Democratic political observers said Tuesday. [...]
But the state as a whole has grown faster than the number of white registered voters, giving African-Americans the chance to play a larger role in deciding who wins elections in Georgia, something pollster Matt Towery has tried to reflect in his surveys.
Towery, a former Republican state lawmaker who is now CEO of Atlanta-based Insider Advantage, believes black voters will turn out in huge numbers to vote for Obama.[...] He has consistently shown the race between Obama and Republican John McCain to be tighter than other pollsters have found. A poll he released Tuesday had McCain leading by a single percentage point, following a poll last week showing Obama ahead by 1 point. - [Indian t]ribes are throwing their financial weight behind his rival, Barack Obama, donating more than $1 million to support the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign. [...] The Indian vote, which has traditionally been overwhelmingly Democratic, could be pivotal in a number of swing states, notably New Mexico. It could also help Sen. Obama pick up a number of traditionally red states, such as Montana. New Mexico and other swing states -- including Nevada, North Carolina, Minnesota and Colorado -- have a higher percentage of Indians than the national average.
- Barack Obama is enjoying big crowds and a favorable political map, while Mr. McCain faces jittery supporters and poll numbers that piled up like a body count. [...] Poll numbers show Mr. Obama ahead, even in battleground states that President Bush won last time. His crowds are larger, younger and more racially diverse.
